05:44:00 <mask3d_band1t> hey everyone
08:40:00 <electrohead> o/
09:44:00 <doggyrat> hello
10:17:00 <gremlinz> hello
11:17:00 <electrohead> yoooo
11:44:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> hello
12:28:00 <gremlinz> what is up
12:38:00 <electrohead> Not me, anymore.
14:11:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> i wish i was sleeping
14:13:00 <electrohead> Me too
14:13:00 <electrohead> I'm on the verge of quitting, again..
14:14:00 <electrohead> Boss man said to me today - "I'm taking these two guys out to lunch. No offense, but you're the new guy, you're not included"
14:14:00 <electrohead> No fucking joke.
14:14:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> mine is due to some fuckwit trying to do a mic check
14:14:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck how many times do you need to check the fucking mic
14:19:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> omg mcgyver is on lol
14:33:00 <gremlinz> wow
14:33:00 <gremlinz> that's fucked up electrohead
14:33:00 <gremlinz> what a dick
14:34:00 <gremlinz> i would have said, i dont want your fucking free lunch anyyway
14:34:00 <electrohead> not to mention, he called me tonight about this one piece of equipment I was working on ...
14:34:00 <electrohead> oh, sorry, dinner*
14:35:00 <electrohead> but like, he spent $30 on a registry fix, versus giving me more hours to properly figure something out
14:35:00 <electrohead> $12 an hour, I make, mind you
14:36:00 <gremlinz> he called you at home out of hours?
14:36:00 <electrohead> the hard drive we imaged, broke after using this software to image it - https://www.aomeitech.com/aomei-backupper.html
14:36:00 <electrohead> he swears by this software
14:36:00 <electrohead> wouldn't let me use linux / dd
14:36:00 <electrohead> yeah, cause I told him to call me, if he found anything out
14:36:00 <electrohead> he takes the easy way out
14:36:00 <gremlinz> ah right
14:36:00 <electrohead> nothing proper
14:36:00 <gremlinz> he sounds a douche
14:37:00 <electrohead> ffs dude, he literally told me, that he wants the work to be done quick
14:37:00 <electrohead> as fast as possible
14:37:00 <electrohead> and I'm like, ... so, quality doesn't matter?
14:37:00 <electrohead> then I noticed, he has huntron tracker 2000's for "troubleshooting"
14:38:00 <electrohead> the fucking tech 2's in the shop? they fucking BARELY look at the screen when trying to find faults
14:41:00 <gremlinz> i'm gobsmacked at $12/hr
14:41:00 <gremlinz> that's insane
14:42:00 <gremlinz> how many hrs a day?
14:54:00 <electrohead> well I'm pushing 50 hours a week
14:55:00 <electrohead> I go in for 0800, get off at 1800
14:55:00 <electrohead> I clock out for an hour lunch break
15:23:00 <gremlinz> ahyup
15:40:00 <electrohead> oh, did I mention, I *still* don't have a computer setup, to properly do my job, as far as documenting everything I do?
15:40:00 <electrohead> I'm forced to used everyone else's computer, to log everything, to clock in and out
15:40:00 <electrohead> ...
15:48:00 <electrohead> oh
15:48:00 <electrohead> something else!
15:49:00 <electrohead> I was told to put a rush on a laptop motherboard repair, for the company's IT guy ..
15:49:00 <electrohead> well, doesn't look like the IT guy is rushing to set my computer up
15:49:00 <electrohead> yeah, I *still* don't have my own computer.
15:50:00 <electrohead> I'm forced to use everyone else's computer to document my work, and to clock in and out
16:08:00 <eddie> leave that place the boss seems to be a right proper pajero (Argentinan slang)
16:08:00 <eddie> and $12 a hour is sweat shop wages
16:22:00 <gremlinz> yea but the U.S have a history of shit wages
16:24:00 <gremlinz> my advice, if you're unhappy, start searching again, but stick with it so you at least have some income, even if it means biting your tongue and being a shit kicker
16:50:00 <mask3d_band1t> hey, what's going on y'all?
16:55:00 <gremlinz> sup
16:56:00 <mask3d_band1t> not much, sorry to just disappear on you at the drop of a hat man but was activated and had no time to tell anyone.
16:56:00 <gremlinz> ahuh
16:57:00 <mask3d_band1t> how's things been with you otherwise?
16:58:00 <gremlinz> alright, cowboys let me down last night, but bunnys will win tonight so all good
16:58:00 <mask3d_band1t> that's the way hopefully get atleast one win right.
17:01:00 <mask3d_band1t> seen the afl grand final? what a blow out.
17:01:00 <gremlinz> na not a fan
17:01:00 <mask3d_band1t> Bonny will be watching it probably and happy.
17:04:00 <mask3d_band1t> otherwise how is work treating you? keeping yourself busy?
17:05:00 <gremlinz> up and down, my work is dynamic
17:05:00 <gremlinz> its nice to have slow days though to catch up on things or just chill
17:05:00 <mask3d_band1t> that's good to hear man.
17:06:00 <mask3d_band1t> need time to get upto no good.
17:07:00 <gremlinz> absolutely
17:09:00 <mask3d_band1t> off topic but isn't it scary that we have been on and off this server for nearly 30yrs. is that sad or what. haha
17:09:00 <mask3d_band1t> I mean like where the heck has time gone.
17:10:00 <gremlinz> yea old habits die hard
17:11:00 <mask3d_band1t> right, feels like yesterday I got my first @ and shit I swear if we didn't get an ego and power hungry with it we weren't doing it right.
17:12:00 <mask3d_band1t> now we are more mellow I would like to think. in getting older
17:14:00 <mask3d_band1t> still take my hat off to you and find it incredible that you have taken this all over and keeping it alive.
